Proton seems to have a lot of cheerleaders that come out of the woodwork when anyone complains. I'm happy that somehow their code is magically bug free for you, since you've somehow never encountered any bugs whatsoever in their code (despite their release notes mentioning literal bugs they've fixed).
I'm glad it works for you, but their offering is frequently buggy and broken for me.
It'd be useful if you pointed out bugs instead of just implying that anyone who doesn't share your experience is some sort of shill
The person I was responding to literally said they were "a paying user for a very long time" and "never encountered a bug". No software is bug free. I can't think of a single software service I've used for as long as Proton (7 years now) where I haven't encountered a single issue over that time. I take their statement to be so incredibly unlikely as to be facetious or intentionally duplicitous.
So I responded in kind, because I've definitely seen company cheerleaders, and I'll have no part of it. I'm glad you all are happy with Proton. I'm not telling you to leave.
And if you really want to see complaints, you don't have to look far. Read the other comments on this thread. I don't have to spell everything out for you.
Idk what to tell you. Email is mostly a solved problem for most cases, and object storage is mostly the same. Password manager is one of the best I've found in any platform, at least for the individual-user use case.
The VPN has always just worked, too.
If you're using desktop apps for things, really can't help you there as I have no experience with any proton offerings for that piece.
I would imagine this is the universal case, otherwise they would be out of business.
People that feel very satisfied or dissatisfied with something are most likely to comment. I've just been very satisfied.
